The underground hall.
A large number of oil lamps on the wall had been knocked over in the previous battle. Black oil spilled all over the floor. Sparks slowly burned along with the oil on the floor and gradually spread outwards.
When the fire was about to reach him, he walked toward the exit.
He stood at the door and looked back at the hall.
The hall was now empty. Even the statue of the Scholar of Cruelty had been reduced to dust. In addition to this fire, the inscription mark that had been left here at the pinnacle was burned to ashes.
This place was the source of Rasudran's eternal existence. But it was also the end of Rasudran's destruction.
Everything would be gone in the end.
And this was only the beginning.
In the end, he sighed and walked up the spiral staircase.
…
The sound of light footsteps could be heard in the deep and quiet corridor.
It was a windowless corridor with blood-red carpet. The walls on both sides were decorated with monster skulls. Some of them were even human skulls. They all looked terrified.
In the middle of the corridor, Angor occasionally saw a statue of Fire Palm. Using the light from the fire, he saw the owner of the footsteps.
It was a tall young man with blond hair. His posture was tall and straight, and his face was handsome. However, his face was pale, and he looked abnormally tired and sick.
It was Angor.
After leaving the underground hall, Angor went to the first floor of the tower.
He thought he could find the way out quickly. However, the inside of the tower was a maze. He walked for a long time without finding a way out. He didn't even see a window that led to the balcony.
The walls were made of special materials that could weaken and block all kinds of energy. They wouldn't be a problem for a demon. However, Angor couldn't use his spirit feelers to see what was behind the walls.
He had been walking in the corridor for a long time, but he did not see any windows or doors.
The endless darkness in front of him gave him the illusion that he had entered the airless cavity of a monster. Or rather, he found himself in a corridor with endless loops.
After walking for a while, Angor reached a resting area in the middle of the corridor.
The resting area was wider than the corridor and could accommodate a long table and sofa. There was still a statue of Zhang Huo beside it.
The table was filled with plates, but they looked very messy now. He could already smell Jupiter's disgusting saliva.
It was supposed that Jupiter had eaten here before going to the cellar.
He decided not to wander around aimlessly. Instead, he took out his scout puppet and sent it into the darkness.
He took out the statue of the Scholar of Cruelty and placed it on the table.
"Subjugation," he muttered. That was what Iyadese said, which meant it was the name of the statue. But what was the use of this Descending Object?
From the Scholar of Cruelty's words, it seemed that the statue could be used. But how? And what would the effects and consequences of using it be? But it was still a mystery.
Angor looked at the statue again. It looked the same as the one he saw in the underground hall. The wings were closed and wrapped around the body. He couldn't see the statue's face, but for some reason, he had a feeling that a pair of eyes was staring at him from the darkness.
He thought for a moment and took off the glove on his right hand.
The green patterns on his right hand quickly showed up in front of him.
These green lines were constantly changing and moving around his right hand. He quickly locked onto one of the green runes, which was a new one he just acquired.
He didn't analyze the data of this new green pattern like he did with the other ones. But as soon as he saw it, he knew what it meant — "Shielding".
But judging from the other green patterns, this "Shielding" was probably just the surface meaning. There must be something else inside. He would have to wait until he had more time to study it.
He stared at the green pattern for a long time and exhaled deeply. Using the nightmare aura flowing out of his right hand as the source of energy, he tried to activate the green pattern.
There wasn't any light or shadow, nor was there any energy fluctuation. The green pattern that represented the meaning of "shielding" simply melted away in an ordinary manner. Or rather, the green rune disappeared from his vision. But he could clearly feel that the green rune had turned into a thin layer of film that covered him from all directions.
When the film appeared, Angor looked at the statue on the table again. This time, he didn't feel the same fear as before.
Angor felt that he was being too paranoid. But this Descending Object was created by the Grand Demon God after all. He couldn't afford to be too careful when dealing with an object from a demon god.
Besides, he didn't need to worry about the green pattern disappearing. His right hand was still releasing nightmare aura, which was enough to keep the green pattern going.
Unless he used his right hand to cast a nightmare illusion spell, the green pattern wouldn't be affected for a while.
With that in mind, Angor turned his attention to the scout puppet.
But when he looked over, he noticed that the scout puppet was standing in front of a broken door.
It was the same door he used to come out of the underground hall.
In other words, the scout puppet walked around the corridor and didn't find anything. The only door he saw was the one leading to the underground hall.
There was no way there was only one door in the entire corridor.
"Either we're in a maze, or the path is hidden."
If it was a maze, Angor didn't think he could solve it on his own. Moreover, according to his speculations, the Void Tower itself had inscriptions, so the possibility of setting up a maze was very low.
Did that mean that the path was hidden?
Angor put away the statue on the table and walked into the dark corridor. He checked his surroundings as he walked, but he still didn't find anything when he reached the entrance of the underground hall.
If a maze wasn't possible, then hiding the path didn't make sense either.
According to his observation, most of the demons didn't like trouble, except for the ones that mainly affected people's minds. There were many cases of killing and playing tricks, but the situation of hiding and hiding was very rare.
"So the path wasn't hidden, and I just ignored it?"
He walked back the way he came, but this time, he walked slowly. Apart from the heads he saw on the walls, he didn't find anything strange.
While he was at his wits' end, he saw a faint light coming from the darkness ahead of him.
He looked up and saw the fire-palm statues that appeared in the corridor from time to time. These ferocious-looking statues were placed horizontally on the walls, with their long arms outstretched. Their palms were lit up by lamps.
Angor looked at the statues and suddenly thought of something.
For a demon who didn't like trouble, there must be obvious signs for a path. In the dark corridor where one couldn't even see their own fingers, the most obvious things were the statues that were burning with fire.
Could it be that these statues were the roads?
Angor reached out a hand and touched one of the statue's arms.
Then, without using any strength, he heard a "Ka Ka" sound. The Palm Fire Statue and the wall behind it flipped over, revealing a door.
Angor didn't know what to say. So it really is a path.
Angor complained about the design as he walked toward the door.
Behind the door was a small, cramped room. As soon as he entered, Angor immediately smelled the thick scent of blood. He took a closer look and saw that the small room was filled with all kinds of rotten flesh, which seemed to belong to some monsters. Some of them already had white maggots growing out of them.
In the center of the room, there was a slanted path that looked like a slide. However, there were dark bloodstains on the slide, as well as fresh blood stains.
Angor asked the puppet to look down the slide and saw a bloody basement.
A fat demon with chains around his neck and limbs was holding a machete and chopping at a monster … Speaking of which, that monster had the serial number of the Prey Hall hanging on it. It seemed to have come from the Prey Hall.
The fat demon was surrounded by minced meat and rotten meat, as well as all kinds of disgusting seasonings.
The movement of the scouting puppet seemed to have startled the fat Abyss Demon. It turned its head and roared angrily, rushing toward the scouting puppet with a kitchen knife.
But halfway there, he was stopped by the chains.
Angor saw this and quietly left the room. The plates looked exactly the same as the ones in the resting area. Maybe it's a chef Jupiter caught?
There were many statues in the corridor, so Angor quickly found a new room.
However, it was still a kitchen, where another fat demon was imprisoned.
Speaking of which, the ingredients used by these demon chefs were all monsters from the Abyss, which were all excellent ingredients for Angor. But to get them, Angor had to face these terrifying chefs.
Angor didn't think he could win, so he had to retreat.
Angor saw many rooms behind the statues on his way, but most of them were "kitchens". Angor could tell that Jupiter had a huge appetite.
The rest of the rooms were mostly empty.
Of course, they weren't completely empty. For example, this one.
